Max Payne 2 in terms of Emotional story..(Its better)...

By The Way "Total Overdose" provide better gameplay then any of these two.. (Its more GTA Like but have effets like that of Max Payne.)

(Offtopic : and this becomes my 700th post... (7 is lucky being my birth date. hehe))

congo QM for 700

And yes, Total Overdose was a fun to play. The slow-mo moves was g8r, even if after a while u feel that its overdone with slow-mo. Anyway it was a gr8 game with a very light gfx engine. Every IGP cud handle it, even 845 one at high details.

Classic games are never outdated , as for your question each game is unique in there own way so you should try get two them , if you still have to pick one i would say mafia as it has a very good story.

Noooo....Two of my fav. games pitted against each other.??God,why do you let so much injustice prevail on this planet.????:cry: :cry: .

Anyway, max payne is a TPS game,besides the story [which is awesome BTW], there isn't really much difference you will get if you are an FPS gamer.Bullet time is cool.But buying the enire game just for it just isn't worth it.....unless you arrange for other means.;)
Mafia is shooting, racing, chasing, all put in one game like GTA,the difference being it has got a story too.Besides Mafia will run even on a PC that won't be able to run Max Payne 2.

Yeah each episode is unique and innovative unlike max payne which gets repetitive after few levels (bullet time is nice to see but then it feels hollow against the realistic concept of Mafia).

And yeah anyday Mafia is better than GTA and its clones :D (feels like Disney land to play with)

@shady:max payne is Third person shooter not FPS.

Well I liked them both but max payne wins in gameplay department,the bullet time is just awesome.Its fun to play.

Max Payne is story based. You shouldnt play MP2 without playing MP1.
Mp2 does have an recap (yup.. a game with a recap!), but thats way too breezy
And yeah MP is better than GF.
